HAMLET (15) 1h 53m

Dir: Aneil Karia

Cast: Riz Ahmed, Morfydd Clark, Joe Alwyn, Timothy Spall

Genre: Drama

Following their Academy Award-winning collaboration The Long Goodbye, Riz Ahmed and director Aneil Karia reunite for this bold Shakespearian adaptation, set in contemporary London.

Hamlet and his wealthy British Asian family are reunited, but he is driven only to identify his enemies and exact revenge. He finds impressive foes in Polonius and Claudius (an excellent Timothy Spall and Art Malik), while Morfydd Clark brings a touching sensitivity to her Ophelia. Through daring stylistic choices, Karia (Surge) brings a fresh and radical reading to this classic text.
